We acknowledge that the use of AI has become increasingly common, transforming how people work and the outputs they deliver. In light of this, we expect entrants to indicate clearly where AI has been used, whether in the development of the work itself or in shaping the written entry or any associated assets submitted as part of that entry.

We would not publish your entry without prior permission. If you are shortlisted, we may publish your Executive Summary, so we do ask no confidential information is included within this.

If you win, our team at In.Comms will provide a write up on your entry, based on your executive summart so again, we do ask no confidential information is included within this.
Additionally, you can mark parts of your entry as confidential/not for publication to ensure this, this, provided such restrictions are not used unreasonably.
